DEFIANCE, Ohio – The 19th annual Empty Bowls event to benefit the PATH Center is planned for Thursday, March 14, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 111 Elliott Road. The project is sponsored by the Defiance College Social Work Organization. The goal is to raise funds to help feed the hungry, with all proceeds going to the PATH Center.
Area restaurants and individuals make and donate a variety of soups and breads included in the dinner menu, with soup served in handmade bowls. Defiance College alum Brandon Knott of It’s Knott Pottery will be making bowls for this year’s event. Diners will be encouraged to continue using these one-of-a-kind bowls as a reminder of those who their donations will serve.
Tickets for the fundraiser are $12 and include a handmade bowl. Children 10 and under are $10. The meal will be a free will donation.
